I love when Marco Rubio during one of the debates was like "hey maybe all those people praising European welfare programs should leave America" and I remember yelling at the TV "I would if I could!"

This friend of mine who has been living in Switzerland for the past 5-6 years (he went there to do his PhD and is now working there) cast a mail-in ballot for Gary Johnson, with Kasich having been his first choice. I feel like there's some joke to be made about living in a place with a reasonable healthcare system and voting for a libertarian in the US.

I think he could best be described as "politically 'wanting to appear reasonable/moderate', but in a different sort of way than centrist Democrats". Kinda like a centrist Democrat who doesn't care about social issues? He's not really a libertarian, but just thought Kasich/Johnson were more reasonable/moderate for...some reason? People like him (he's a geneticist) are very good evidence that academic intelligence is very different from the intelligence to not have stupid political views.

gently caress you, he's got his?

Being a member of Congress/the Senate may as well count as living in a place with a reasonable healthcare system; full coverage, and no repercussions for loving millions of poors.

Also the microwave isn't on the counter where the working man puts it, nor above the stove where the middle class and civil service would have it. It's recessed into the base cabinet like a true bourgeoisie.

Like seriously that weirdness both in terms of what's going on with his face as he slurps up the toast after he bit into it and then proceeds to chew and the camera work is just... shocking? Emotionally draining?

And it's he stops for a full second and stares forward before he bites into the toast like his CPU is processing what his next function should be. I can't get over this.

He doesn't even stare at the camera, he stares off into the middle distance somewhere around it.

It's so hard to choose between the pause, the chewing, or the way he puts the toast on the plate like it has to be done. No no, the plate is there for the the toast, must touch toast to plate before I eat it. Must touch toast to plate now that I've taken a bite.

The terrifying thing is that Donald Trump is the most identifiable, human candidate. He's a slimy used car salesman who inherited too much money, but he still has more in common with most people than the reptilians both parties tried to present.

There's some kind of cultural Hapsburgism that modern establishment people seem to present.

Corbyn is even more dramatic because he managed to galvanize young people into strong Labour stances and got them to vote - not to mention stuff like Glastonbury where every now and then chants of "OOOOOOH JEREMY CORBYN" would happen spontaneously which is basically a fantastic example of organic support

Democrats and any of these "new left" types worldwide want that without delivering the goods and get surprised when they crash and burn hard - "but but you are supposed to be with us whyyyyy"

Are the democrats already starting to slip up their chances for a 2018 majority in congress? I haven't been hearing good news since Ossoff lost that district, and I've heard little from Bernie. Is he actually managing to help things?

Well, ultimately Bernie is a bit limited in what he can do, since he's not in control of campaign funding or the direction of the party as a whole.
